rubyonrails.org was not hijacked

Posted by David April 21, 2008 @ 02:25 PM

Due to a snafu at the domain company holding rubyonrails.org, the site was turned into their default Google-baiting holding spot yesterday. The problem has now been resolved and the Google-bait has been eradicated. Sorry for the scare.

    And boy did you guys scare me for a sec. But a whois on the domain got me sane again.

    Any reason it says RaiRails 2.0.2 on the home page? I know it’s been like that for a few weeks now, but just thought I’d point it out…
